SUFFS CERTAIN
TENNESSEE WILL
REMAIN LOYAL
,
Suffrage Strength Again
Proved When Adjournment
Motion Is Given Major
ity of Two Votes.
Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 21. Suf
frage leaders were preparing today
to clinch their victory by closing
the last parliamentary loophole
through which Tennessee's approval
cf the federal suffrage amendment
ir.ieht be rescinded.
They were confident after the ad
journment of the house Friday with
out a vote on reconsideration of
their ability to sweep aside the last
obstacle to formr! crtificaiioi: of
the action of the legislature to Sec
retary Colby at Washington.
Some parliamentarians, i:v-!ndirig
Attorney General Thompson con
tended that Friday's action was
final. Others, including suffrage ad
herents, however, took an opposite
, view.
Suffs Show Strength.
j Attorney General Thompson con
tended that Walker's failure to act
jFriday settled the question of recog-
sideratioti, and that the resolution
!now was ready for engrossing and
certification to W ashington. Others,
( however, maintained that the mo
. tion stood on the journal as a mat
iter of record and unacted upon, and
j that to remove all doubt it must be
j disposed of.
Washington, Aug. 21. Although
ratification of the sutTra"e ani ped
iment is held to cancel all conflicting
iState laws and constitutional pro
visions, a statement given out last
knight by the National Women's
fparty said further legislative or ex
ecutive action might be needed in
several states before adequate elec
tion machinery was set up to permit
Fall women to vote in November.
Alice Paul, chairman of the nartv.
Fw-ired today to attorneys general in
Fdoubtful states asking if thq road to
'the polls would be open to women as
soon as the ratification of the amend
ment had been proclaimed.
Nine doubtful states Alabama,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennes
see, Maryland and Vermont re
Jmained to be hoard from on the
iioint. as party officials have been
-nformcd that adequate steps would
ne taken m all others, the statement
said.
f In 30 of the states, it added, full
participation was insured by the fact
Khat they already had more or less
omplete voting powers under state
aws.
Vegetable Market
Takes Slump in
Big Eastern Centers
Washington, Aug. 21. Potatoes
nd fruits and vegetables generally
icared the season's low price level
o date last, week, according to a De
partment of Agriculture market sum-
nary issued today. At $3 a barrel.
jeaehed in New l ork, potato prices
o grocers are now lower than they
ught to be, considering the cost of
production, the statement said.
In western cities, potatoes are
Ngher than in the east, and the price
e i . t r - i i
ange is ironi .rt to .po a uarrci.
Onions at 70 cents a bushel and
abbage at $20 a ton, the statement
aid, "are going at radical prices."
Janteloupe, watermelon and green
tuffs and summer fruits generally
have suttered a severe reaction irom
the high market of spring and early
il
ummer.
The first of western boxed apples
,o reacn cnicago are pringing irom
,2.50 to $3, against a $4 price early
a trie season.

$4,500 ALIMONY
TO HIS JX-WIFE
District Court Order Directs
Settlement by Soft Drink
Dispenser Who Inherited
$40,01..
Edward G. Kline, soft drink dis
penser, after a year and a half of
a stormy financial and marital ca
rter, was ordered Friday in dis
trict court to pay $4,500 to his di
vorced wife, Minnie Kline, "in set
tlement in full of all claims," and to
place $1,650 in a trust fund to be
paid $25 monthly for support of his
14-year-old son, Lyle.
Kline inherited $40,000 a year ago
at the death of his father in Iowa.
His wife divorced him. Adelbert
McLaren, 2820 Seward street, sued
him for $10,000 for alleged aliena
tion of affections of Edith McLaren.
Kline married Claramond . Huni
mell in Chicago last May. Clara
mond had the marriage annulled
when she discovered she had not
been divorced from her other hus
band the required six months.
Minnie Kline then sued for half
her divorced husband's fortune, or
$20,000. It is claimed they compro
mised on the $4,500, but the compro
mise was contested.
Kline was ordered to pay her $300
attorney's fees and $20 a month for
the support of their son. On May
24 Minnie Kline appealed to the
court $20 was not sufficient.
And now comes the action of the
court Friday.
